" She seemed annoyed and I kept it short"

Don't mindread. She could have had a lousy day at work. There was nothing wrong with you asking how her day was.

"u could hear my wife say--no, daddy's tired. Let him rest. Etc."

Just say "I'm fine and it looks like alot of fun" then play. Let her comments roll off your back.
